Video: Levi to pen tell-all Palin book

Closed captioning of: Levi to pen tell-all Palin book

>>>levi the author, lindsay and lohan, we go "down to the wire." start the clock. ready for yet another book on
sarah palin
? you betcha. but this isn't just any book. the tell-all will be written by none other than levi johnston. bristol palin's
baby daddy
and ex-boyfriend. plans to
set the record straight

with "deer in the headlights:my life in
sarah palin
's crosshairs." it comes out in the fall.

>>>lindsay lohan
got a standing ovation during a taped interview that will air this evening on "the
tonight show
."
jay leno
got her talking about all the off-screen drama. take a listen.

>>being young and being in the position that i was in, you don't really take the time to appreciate what you've, you know, what you have. and it all is kind of a whirlwind and people make decisions for you. but i'm not a kid anymore. i'm 24. i've made a lot of mistakes. and i recognize that. but i'm in the clear now, and i feel like as long as i stay focused, then i will be able to achieve what i want to achieve.

>>>and when it comes to movies, nearly 24 million get their fix from a
red envelope
in the mail. netflix is now america's largest subscription video service. but whether it's by mail or online, netflix still can't match hbo which has 28 million subscribers.

>>>the real-life tragedy in arizona will be the basis for a "
law & order
" episode. the shooting rampage killed six and left congresswoman
gabby giffords
in critical condition. a new episode of "
law & order
l.a." will feature a gunman's rampage at a female state senator's public event.

>>>online gamers are fighting new battles offline.
sony playstation
's network is shut down indefinitely while the company investigates hackers. gameless geeks have taken to twitter to vent. one wrote "
playstation network
, more like playstation notwork."

>>>everybody complains about their commute, but a new poll shows 5 million people have actually called in sick to work because they couldn't face the traffic. 4% of workers surveyed, most of the time the problem is that, traffic.

>>>and talk about a rough commute. this video is crazy. a
motorcycle rider
survived this crash in texas. a driver slams into him from behind. he lost his spleen, broke a rib and four vertebrae, but he's not complaining because he's a 25-year-old iraq vet, and he proposed to his girlfriend when he got out of the hospital. she said "yes, if you give up your bike."

>>>former
president george w. bush
certainly isn't giving up his. check him out,
riding high
in the
big bend
of texas. he's riding across the desert with wounded warriors to support men and women in uniform.

>>>and it's the
end of an era
along with vcrs,
record players
, eight-tracks. no more paper checks for
social security
,
veterans affairs
and other
federal benefits
. going paperless is expected to save $1 billion over the next decade.

>>>and be careful. if you're one of those folks who snags a designer knockoff, new
york city
's phony purse purchases could cost you more than the brand itself. they want to go after folks with jail and fines. especially in chinatown.
